My heart beat..
19/f
My resting heart rate concerns me because I often feel my heart beating kinda hard and I feel it, like, shaking my whole body.
I'm 5'8"...haven't weighed myself in a while.. wanna say about 145 pounds... I have anxiety problems. But I usually just feel anxious in school or when I'm out somewhere. At home I usually feel rather emotionally comfortable, yet my heart beat is not of the norm, even when I'm just laying down. It hasn't happened recently, but I used to have heart skips. It would skip a beat and then start beating again harder.
And I often feel really exhausted. I'm not sure if it has to do with this or not. And I'm not sure, but I think I have low blood iron because of the exhaustion, hands and feet being cold, memory trouble, indecision... But these symptoms could be from anxiety...
Does anyone know what is wrong with me? =[

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I don't know why but I have a strong feeling there is nothing much wrong with you. Well, if your weight is really 145 pounds then your BMI (Body Mass Index) comes out to be 22. The normal range for BMI is 18.5-24.9. So, you have a perfect body weight. Someone with a perfect body weight is less likely to develop diseases (generally). You�re such a young lady and at your age I don't think it should really concern you. Don't think too much about it and try focusing on other things. I also don't think you have an anxiety problem because we all, in general, are more anxious at school or workplace or when we are out somewhere, but rather more emotionally comfortable while staying at home. As far as exhaustion, hands and feet feeling cold, memory trouble, and indecision are concerned, we all get those problems sometimes and they don't necessarily indicate we are ill. The reason why I am trying to convince you is due to the fact that you are just 19 and at this age your immune system is more likely to be functioning at optimum efficiency and in perfect order. Try spending more time with people closer to your heart and share your emotions with them and I guess you will probably feel much better. Please try to be busy in doing things that you are interested in. Regular physical exercise and a little bit of meditation may also help in you in relieving stress. Having said all these, I want to make it very clear; I AM NOT A MEDICAL SPECIALIST BY ANY MEANS. If you are too concerned about your problems and feel that your symptoms are seriously bothering you, please visit a medical specialist. I think for your problems you will probably need to visit a cardiologist/medicine specialist/neurologist if I am not wrong. If you have any other questions you are always welcome to ask me. Be cheerful in life and God bless you.
UPDATE to my previous answer:
First of all, you did not mention in your question your anxiety problems are as serious as screwing up 3 college semesters in a row and missing a lot of classes. So I took your anxiety problem in a general sense. You also did not mention about concentration problems and difficulty in making friends. Had you illustrated these things in your question I would have approached your question from a different point of view. So, I apologize for getting you wrong and I really feel bad because you seem to be seriously concerned over the things going on. However, I would like to add a few points to my first answer. Even though my answer was not very helpful to you, I swear by God, I always had an honest intention to help you out of what you are going through. So, many people told you stuffs like "there's nothing wrong with you (in terms of anxiety), we all get nervous and we all experience similar problems...” I guess they were probably right in saying so and I will tell you why. There is a direct relationship between you not being able to make friends and anxiety problems. You say you feel like a loser and you do not have many friends. You feel like being a loser because you face difficulty in making friends. To be honest, all your problems are being created due to the fact you are lonely, depressed, and lacking friends. However, I have EXECELLENT news for you. You are a GREAT person. I will explain why I think so. Do you know why you do not have many friends and not a lot of people talk with you? It is simply because of the fact people will more often than not ignore you WHEN YOU TELL THEM THE PLAIN TRUTH, REFRAIN FROM FLATTERING THEM, AND STAND FIRMLY ON THE TRUTH because it harms their evil desires. If you are thinking everyone around you have so many friends and you are the only one who does not have friends you ARE absolutely wrong. Please be careful to note when I say about having friends I am referring to TRUE friends. When it comes to the question of true friends, believe me, at least 99% (if not 100%) of our friends are not true and only part time friends. In our good times there will be plenty of friends around us but when the wind is blowing against us and we need them the most, NONE of them will be there to support us. When thour bank account is filled with dollars those so called part time friends will accompany us all the time but when we will be in need and in a desperate situation all the so called “Friends” will evaporate. Such is the reality of life. When you are honest, truthful, and speak your heart out people will not like you but when you flatter them and be a hypocrite (have something in mind but say something else) they will be happy with you and want to be your friends. Now, it is up to you to consider whether you want to have such people as your friends in great numbers or you want to have very few friends who will be your TRUE friends and always be there to accompany you not just when it is your good time. By the way you seem to understand better than me who are your true friends since you mentioned if you were not pretty you would not have many friends. So people are judging you only in terms of your physical beauty and not on the beautiful soul that exists within you. If people are judging you based upon your outside beauty, I guess it is THEIR and SOLELY THEIR PROBLEM. You should not bother about what they are doing even the least bit. The fact that you are messing up with your semesters, having difficulty in learning and concentrating have a lot to do with this friends issue. You are not being able to share your thoughts and frustrations with anyone and its just burdening your mind and the computer (your brain) is feeling the pressure. You need some one to talk to, someone to whom you can express yourself, someone who understands you, someone very close to you, you really need a true friend. Now you must be wondering it is really very difficult to get such a friend and you are absolutely right. So what do you do now? Is there no way left for you? No, there is indeed a way (now I am shifting to a different mode and you may not like my answer if your religious faith is not so strong, please pardon me if you don’t believe in any religion or God). The way is the Way of God. It is time to start seeking help from God, your only true friend, who will never betray you, never leave you alone in your difficult times, One who will glorify you if indeed you are honest and bless you with Bliss and Divine Protection. Ask God to make your life easier and guide you through unfavorable times, increase your courage and strength so that you can communicate with people and make true friends. I SWEAR BY GOD, I am in almost the EXACT SAME SITUATION (if not worse) THAT YOU DESCRIBED IN YOUR FEEDBACK and my ever increasing faith in God has helped me to an unimaginable extent. That is one of the few reasons why I am making an honest effort to convince of you of your symptoms. Since I myself am in a similar situation the fact that I don’t know you has not mattered much and I also did not have to think much about it. Then again, I am only a human being and there could be plenty of flaws in the opinion that I have provided. Once again, whether you like or dislike my suggestions my honest intention was to make an effort to help you out and God knows best what my intention was. I felt like illustrating a lot more but I want to make sure what I wrote above is helping you. If indeed my answer helped and if you have any further questions you can ask me in my column. Once again, I am not an expert and I am giving you suggestions based on my personal experience in life, you may very well visit a mental health expert if you wish but as much as I understand from what you have written you appear to be absolutely normal to me. May God, The True and Best Protector, divinely protect you.
